Masturbating Man Spotted Outside McPherson School

Chicago, IL - A man was spotted masturbating outside McPherson Elementary School in Lincoln Square last week.

A woman named Jessica told DNAinfo Chicago she and her boyfriend were walking near the school Thursday night and were ready to cross Lawrence Avenue when her boyfriend saw the man - wearing a red shirt, black hat and athletic shorts - “visibly jerking.”

"It was kind of a paralyzing moment," Jessica said. "It was so sickening. We were nauseous."

The school term has been completed for the summer at McPherson, 4728 N. Wolcott Ave., but the playground near where the incident occurred remains open to the public and there were several families present Thursday night.
